Description
Summary:Recent advances in ultra-low power chip design techniques, many originally targeting wireless sensor networks, will enable a new generation of body-worn devices for health monitoring. We utilize the state-of-the-art in low power RF transmitters, low voltage boost circuits, subthreshold processing, biosignal front-ends, dynamic power management, and energy harvesting to realize an integrated reconfigurable wireless body-area-sensor node (BASN) SoC capable of autonomous power management for battery-free operation.
